Tbe party system is tbe basis of tbe

Tbe mere assertion by a candidate

rode up the street we would see comparatively few young men armless,
legless and some blind, but through
all this they would greet you with a
smile. On every side, anyway you
look, you nee the deepest sol lifer
mourning.
We finally boarded a passenger
train for Paris. It is so mucb different than ours. Tbeir engine is so
email it makes one think of these
miniature trains in a park, but nevertheless I enjoyed my trip to Paris,
We went through the mo6t beautiful
part of France they say. As we glided through tbe villages in tbose silent
hours of the nigbt they looked so
peaceful and quiet in their slumbers.
No one would realize tbat their country was at war only just a short distance away. The villages are so
quaint looking. Tbeir houses are
wbite brick witb pink roofs, they
look so picturesque.
Everywhere women are filling mens
places and tbey are doing it witb a
smile. One feels guilty when you see
tbem carry your heavy baggage, but
they do it cheerfully. I suppose hoping some day in tbs near future tbat
they will be free and will never baye
to get under such bondage.
Our boys are making a most wonderful record. Tbey are wonderful
fighters and I think tbat we are going
to come out successful Every one
just adores our boys, they are mighty
good looking boys aud just act as
though they meant business.
I bave just finished my dinner and
come out into the garden. It is a
very picturesque spot, with a hedge
growing all around it and out where
the chairs art, tbere are little pebbles,
then along under the hedge are begonias and otber flowering plants.
Pretty geraniums around in urns and
banging baskets of nasturtiums-
There are little green tables and
chairs wbicb seats four people.
We get a cape witb a Red Cross on
tbe left side and bright red lining tbe
cape is dark blue, a beavy serge dress,
s tailored suit, 1 silk waist, 2 wbite
waists, shoes, a beavv coat witb American Red Cross embroidered on left
arm. We are very well equipped by
tbe Red Cross organization and looked after splendidly by tbis organization.

RALPH STEVENS
Tells
that is the only way to do i* to go by
yourself and try to get around alone,
because if you have some one witb
you all the time, one never accomplishes very mucb. 1 am getting accustomed to some parts of Paris
where I have to go every day and am
learning bow to take tbe subways
(wbich are street cars under ground)
very well.
The French people are very courteous people and certainly are very
happy to see us Americans.
I bars been assigned to a French
Hospital for American wouuded.
Tbese Hospitals get the boys rigbt
from tbe trenches most ei! tbe time.
In tbsse hospitals, tbe boys tbat are
brought in, are overcome with joy because they perhaps bave not seen
American women for perhaps six
months or perhaps longer, and It
seema so good to see some one wbo
can talk tbeir language. Ob! my
think what good anyone can do to
take care of tbese boys wbo bave
gave through witb so mucb suffering.
One can be a mother to tbem and
make them comfortable. 1 get so
mucb comfort out of it to know that
I am going to be able to do so much
good and every nurse feels as though
It was a supreme privlledge to be
able to care for our dear boys who
mean so mucb to our beloved land.
I just wisb you could see ns as we
scurry around when an air raid comes.
We sometimes are awakened oat of
a sound sleep bv a siren or alert,
wbicn sounds one-hundred times
worse than the fire w'uistie. We all
of us get up and dress in the dark,
feel our way down stairs and tbsn go
to tbe nearest cellar and stay there
until it bas finished, tben a bugler
goes through the street wbish an-
oouces tbat it has finished.
We will be sent out from Paris but
we always will return bere to get orders to be sent elsewhere. We never
know where we will have to go or
long we stay, although we do not stav
longer tban six months in one place.
I want before I return to America
to go to Italy and work also. I think
perhaps 1 can. I am going to have
tbat aim anyway.
I only wisb Nettie or some nurse
from bome was with me, but nevertheless I will -corns along alright.
Well I wili close hoping to
bear from you soon.

The Clare Sentinel,
Dear Sir:-
I thought you
might be interested in a little navy
life, as most of tbe boys are in tbe
army. Tbe motto for the camp it
:For the good of the ships, you will
like it". We have to like it. Why
shouldn't we? In tbe morning you
roll out at 5:00 and take a good
shower batb. At one time it is so bot
you can hardly stand nnder it, and at
another it is just tbs other way.
Tben you dress, roll your hammock
and blanket, sweep and swab deck, go
to chow as they call it here, tben
start drilling aod they are sure you
are under no shade wben you are
drilling.
Our suite are low-necked and when
you have drilled for 8 hours you feei
as if you had teen scalded. After
supper wbile you are resting yon can
roil up your pants, get down on tbe
cement floor, take a scrub brush and
scrub your suit for tbe next day and
if it is not wbite, then you catch it.
Maybe you bave time to go up to tbe
Y after you get your washing done
and maybe you don't. If not, you
can lay yonr hammock dowa on tbe
floor,(tbe hammock is a straw tick
without much straw) lay yonr sunburned neck on a wool blankst(we
bave no pillows; and curse tbs German government.
But I am not sorry for tbs step 1
bave taken. Although I left a good
bome and all tbat, some one bas to
belp whip tbem and we bave too macy
tbat bide behind their wife's or moth*
er's apron strings.
Well I bave written more than I
intended. I hope to bear from some
of my Ciare and Farweli friends.

Word comes to us tbat he is one of

the Admiral's flag ship of tbe first

Tbis appointment came as a surprise to Perry as b e was looking
dally for a short furlough to visit his
mother in Detroit, but true to tbe
spirit ot the day he cheerfully waived all chance for furlough home and
very gratefuliy accepted the highest

I bad a wonderful trip over and the weather was glorious, warm oceau , air, 9kpt on deck every night, we got j permission. There was very interest- I ing people ou the boat, very rioted people from various professions, lt certainly wa9 a mixed crowd, from every profession. We did not have Pres.

Tbe man wbo ie choeen to be the next senator from this state should bd elected primarily because of his special knowledge of, or adaptability to the particular work te wbich be will be expected to devote himself. He abould be cbosen because he has clear-cut legislative sense, ia conservative, dependable, bows, and alow to follow after fads and rain- in some degree at least is an expert in the science of government. He should have a knowledge ot the theory of American government in particular. He should hold iu respect the institutions and tradition of congress tbat years of experience bave proven valuable and vital The man who has no regard for party and party politics—we use the expression in the higher, broader, more bonoraole sense—stands convicted of fundamental incompetency se far aa bis candidafcy for a place in the United States senate ie concerned. Tbe party system is tbe basis of tbe science ot American government; it establishes our national and international policies; it is one of the main safeguards of our free institution ; it keeps them tbem from failing into eonfosion and disintegration. In order to be efficient in the senate, in order to be of any value tbere at all, in order not to be a detriment, a aaan mnst have a knowledge of and reepect for party and political alignment. Thia is necessary even from aa Immediately practical viewpoint bosonse the whole organization of tbe tapper boose is on a strictly party cede, committee assignments and working affiliations being managed treat this premise. A man without party sense or conviction in tbe senate is a mae without aocborage. Tbe mere assertion by a candidate tbat be wiil support tbe president if elected amounts to little In estimating tbe positive qualifications of tbat candidate. Every patriotic man wbo gees to congress will support the president as long ae tbe president is rigbt. Bnt contrariwise, every intelligent, patriotic man wbo goes to congress wili remember tbat his first allegiance is to the country and to its constitution. Something more tban blind adherence to tbe leadership of the White House is necessary in a real senator. It is peculiarly necessary just now wben we bave altogether too many "rubber stamps" intbenpper house." meet the Red Cross delegation and we were conveyed to the station hy various convevances as taxicabs, hacks, ambulances, motor trucks.

Railroads Director McAdoo ordering a reduced rate of one and one half fare for the r. und trip to Detroit during the ten day of the expusiticn.
